The bloating may also be a sign of monosodium glutamate -- a lot of Asian restaurants put MSG in their food and it always bloats me up horribly. You can ask them to leave it out, but since it is already in a lot of the flavorings/sauces they use, it is hard to avoid it entirely. When they say they will leave it out, it often means that they just won't add any extra beyond what is already in the ingredients they are using.
